Stimuli-responsive bile acid-based metallogels forming in aqueous media
2015
Abstract The synthesis and gelation properties of a picolinic acid conjugated bile acid derivative in the presence of metal salts along with the stimuli-responsiveness of the systems are reported. The gels are formed in the presence of Cu 2+ ions in the solvent systems composed of 30–50% of organic solvent (MeOH, acetonitrile, or acetone) in water. The gels respond to various stimuli: they can be formed upon sonication or shaking, and their gel–sol transformation can be triggered by a variety of chemical species. NMR, MS, and SEM techniques are exploited in order to gain a deeper insight on the self-assembled systems.
D-penicillamine in Wilson's disease presenting as acute liver failure with hemolysis.
1982
Wilson's disease in a young woman presenting with an acute course is described. The clinical manifestations were fulminant hepatic failure associated with marked intravascular hemolysis. Immediate D-penicillamine and high-dose steroid therapy did not influence the course of the disease. Necropsy revealed an increased hepatic copper content and cirrhosis with extensive necrosis of the liver.
Spontanfrakturen im Säuglingsalter durch Kupfermangel
1989
A preterm infant of 25 weeks’ gestation developed at 4 months of age an “impressed” fracture of the right femur. In another preterm infant of 27 weeks’ gestation, multiple fractures of the radius and metacarpalia were observed at age 5 months. Also a full term twin showed multiple rib fractures. Additional radiological findings were: generalized skeletal osteopenia, cupping and fraying of the metaphyses of the long bones, and subperiosteal new bone formation. Further symptoms were repeated apnoic attacks, anemia, neutropenia, and low serum levels of both copper and coeruloplasmin. Alimentary copper deficiency was diagnosed and oral copper substitution (CuCl2 1,2–2,0 µmol/kg/d) initiated. Th…
Skelettveränderungen bei Frühgeborenen mit Kupfermangel
1991
We describe 5 preterm infants (25th to 30th week of gestation) suffering from alimentary copper deficiency. The diagnosis was confirmed by low serum copper and caeruloplasmin concentrations. Characteristic clinical findings were repeated apnoeic attacks, hypopigmentation of skin and hair, anaemia, neutropenia and leucopenia refractory to other therapy, as well as increasing serum alkaline phosphatase activity in the first month of life. Starting in the 3rd to 12th week of life the radiographic findings were general skeletal osteoporosis and retardation, metaphyseal radiodense lines, irregular metaphyses, cupping and spurring of the metaphyses, followed by multiple fractures and subperiostea…
Impact of single-dose application of TGF-β, copper peptide, stanozolol and ascorbic acid in hydrogel on midline laparatomy wound healing in a diabeti…
2012
Despite numerous advances and improvements in surgical techniques the incidence of incisional hernias after laparotomy remains high. The aim of this study was to investigate possible effects of single application of ascorbic acid, stanozolol, a synthetic anabolic steroid, copper peptide and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) on laparotomy wound healing in an incisional wound model in diabetic mice. After diabetes induction with streptozotozin in Balb-c mice, midline laparatomies were carried out. Closure of the linea alba was followed by single-dose application of the agents dissolved in a hydrogel before skin closure. The functional outcome was assessed in terms of maximum tensile streng…
Corneal opacity and copper levels of the Lewis syndrome after systemic chemotherapy
2020
Abstract Purpose To report a female patient of biclonal Lewis syndrome which consists of a trias: biclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, paraproteinemic keratopathy in form of a brownish discoid opacification at the level of Descemet's membrane and hypercupremia. After several years there was a conversion to multiple myeloma. Systemic chemotherapy led to a complete remission of multiple myeloma and to a normalization of the copper level in the blood that lasted five years. The corneal opacification remained unchanged. Observations A currently 66-year-old woman suffered from biclonal Lewis syndrome. On both eyes there is a central discoid yellow-brownish discoloration in the Pre-D…

Electricity production in microbial fuel cell with Cu-B alloy as catalyst of anode
2015
Considering the increasing standard of living, the energy consumption increases as well, and so does waste production. However, there is a possibility to combine energy production and wastewater treatment. A device that can accomplish this task is a microbial fuel cell. In microbial fuel cells activated sludge bacteria can be used for electricity production during wastewater treatment. One of the problems with microbial fuel cells is a low current density of those energy sources. Nonetheless, it is possible to increase the current density by using the catalyst for fuel electrode (anode) – as long as a low cost catalyst can be found. The possibility of wastewater treatment using the Cu-B all…
INDOVINA CHI VIENE A CENA? QUESTIONI PSICO-SOCIO-GIURIDICHE NEL CICLO DI VITA DELLA COPPIA MISTA
2013
La famiglia, gruppo sociale con storia e che crea storia (Scabini, 1985), è stata negli anni protagonista di numerose trasformazioni nella sua struttura e nelle sue funzioni. Tra le nuove forme familiari oggetto di ricerca in campo psico-sociale vi è le coppia mista determinata anchʾessa da fenomeni demografici ed economici che, a loro volta, hanno richiesto adattamenti sociali e interventi legislativi ad hoc. Lʾanalisi delle caratteristiche della coppia mista consente di esplorare la praticabilità dellʾintegrazione di differenti esperienze culturali a livello di rapporto di coppia, familiare e sociale (Scabini, Regalia e Giuliani, 2007), esprimendo il livello più profondo dʾincontro tra cu…
